This week’s Enterprise Technology & Services Tech Briefing contains two new items and an opportunity for Microsoft training.
New Microsoft 365 Online User Interface (New)
To Know: Recently, Microsoft released a new interface for all USNH users in their online version of M365 (portal.office.com). This new “work hub” helps you start your day, gets you back to work, makes sure you don’t miss important messages and information. If you do not yet see changes, you will soon.
- Use Recommended actions to quickly respond to activities that might need your attention, like replying to @mentions in a document or joining a meeting that has started.
- Quick access helps you easily find documents that are relevant to you.
- My Content is the place to see all your content across multiple file types and storage locations.
- Create new documents, Lists, notebooks, workbooks, and more. Everything is automatically saved in your OneDrive making it simple to share and collaborate with others.
- Launch an app, like Word, Excel, PowerPoint, or Microsoft Teams.
- Use Search to look for Apps, Files, People, and Sites.

- Change in Outlook calendar behavior: users will now have to select if they want a Teams meeting included in their invitation.
- Change in sidebar menu: SharePoint and OneDrive are no longer accessible through the sidebar menu. To access these applications, along with many others, click on the menu next to Office on the left-hand side of the interface.
